Answer:
B. 15:20
Step-by-step explanation:
27:45 = 3:5
15:20 = 3:4
9:15 = 3:5
3:5 = 3:5
All ratios except 15:20 are equal to 3:5.
Answer:
B. 15:20
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest of all ratios is 3 to 5 since they are prime numbers; therefore, all the ratios but 1 will equal to 3 to 5.
Ratio A: 27 and 45 have a common factor of 9 so when you do (27 ÷ 9) to (45 ÷ 9) you get 3:5.
Ratio B: 15 and 20 have a common factor of 5, so when you do (15 ÷ 5) to (20 ÷ 5), you get 3:4. 3:4 is not equivalent to 3:5.
Ratio C: 9 and 15 have a common factor of 3, so when you do (9 ÷ 3) to (15 ÷ 3), you get 3:5.
The only one that isn't equivalent to 3:5 is B.
Hope this explanation helps :)
